Baseball Off-Season Moves as of 1/31/2013

Well it feels like it's been more then two weeks since I last posted on the transactions in baseball. There has still been wheeling and dealing going on. With Spring Training right around the corner teams are going to looking to pick up whoever they can for the least amount of money. With that being said here is whats gone down the last couple of weeks.

-Washington Nationals agreed to terms with RHP Rafael Soriano on a two-year contract.
-Toronto Bluejays agreed to terms with LHP J.A. Happ and INF/OF Emilio Bonifacio on one-year contracts. Also agreed to terms with INF Mark DeRosa on a one-year contract.
-Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to terms with 1B Garrett Jones and 1B Gaby Sanchez on one-year contracts.
-Los Angeles Angels agreed to terms with LHP Jason Vargas and RHP Tommy Hanson on one-year contracts.
-Philadelphia Phillies agreed to terms with OF Delmon Young on a one-year contract. 
-Boston Red Sox agreed to terms with 1B Mike Napoli on a one-year contract.
-Arizona Diamondbacks traded OF Justin Upton and 3B Chris Johnson to Atlanta for INF Martin Prado, RHP Randy Delgado, RHP Zeke Spruill, SS Nick Ahmed and 1B Brandon Drury.

With Spring Training coming up this will be my last post because the deals are dying down. However I'd like to say that with all the moves that have been made there is one team that is a serious threat this year and that is the Toronto Bluejays. Here is how their team looks this coming year.

Starting Pitchers: R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Brandon Morrow, Ricky Romero
Closer: Casey Janssen
First Base: Edwin Encarnacion
Second Base: Emilio Bonifacio
Third Base: Brett Lawrie
Shortstop: Jose Reyes
Left Field: Melky Cabrera
Center Field: Colby Rasmus 
Right Field: Jose Bautista
Designated Hitter: Adam Lind
On the Bench: Maicer Izturis, Mark DeRosa, Rajai Davis

To be honest with you, I could see this team winning the whole thing. They have a balance of young guys and veterans, and the combination of speed and power. I am looking forward to seeing how this does in 2013


Big Sporting Events Should be Moved to Saturday Nights


I was talking to a friend the other day and asked him what he was doing for the Super Bowl, and asked if he had any special plans. His reply to me was, "I am just staying home. If the Super Bowl was on a Saturday Night I'd go sit at a sports bar or throw a party." It got me to thinking why aren't sporting events held on Saturday Night. I know during the NFL regular season they are not allowed to play games on Saturday Night because of College Football but by the time the Super Bowl is here College Football is over. The can be said for NCAA National Title games in basketball and football. They are both held on a Monday Night. People usually don't travel outside their homes on the first day back to work. You may ask where I am going with this?

It is quite simple if the NCAA, NFL, WWE, TNA and any other big sporting event held their championship, All Star Game, or Pay-Per-View on a Saturday night it would do so much more for the national economy. The UFC and various boxing promoters do it right. They hold all of their big pay-per-views on a Saturday Night and that is why their buys on PPV are so high. Viewers are more willing to stay up on a Saturday night as opposed to Sunday night. Whenever UFC or boxing is shown at a sports bar on Saturday it is usually a packed house. 

Here is a list of all the events held on a Sunday or Monday Night.
-MLB All Star Game
-NHL All Star Game
-NFL Pro Bowl
-NBA All Star Game
-March Madness National Title Game
-BCS National Title Game
-WWE PPV's
-TNA PPV's

I think these events would be more viewed outside the home if they were on a Saturday. I remember when WWE PPV's were on a Saturday. They were a huge thing with wrestling fans and people were more willing to order it and pay for it. These days viewers stream from the internet and watch it at home. I also think if the NHL, NBA, and MLB were smart they would set it up to where if there is any games that go to 7 in the finals they should be held on a Saturday night. Same thing with the entire NFL playoffs. They should all be on Saturday Night. I really think if these organizations made the move to Saturdays you'd see the national economy rise in terms of going out to sports bars and restaurants or more people willing to spend more money on hosting a party.

Saturday Nights are the one night that people go out on a regular basis so why not cater to that crowd? Saturday Nights need to be for prime time sports, and Sundays need to be prime time television series.

Trish Stratus to be Inducted into the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame

When you think of women in wrestling over the last twenty years the one name that comes to the top of that list is Trish Stratus. She made her debut on March 19, 2000. She came on to the scene after being trained Ron Hutchinson and Dave Finlay and she began to manage. Some of the people she managed were Test, Albert and Val Venis. By 2001, she was wrestling full time. She was a 7 time WWE Women's Champion defeating Lita, Jacqueline, Ivory, Molly Holly, and Jazz in a 6 way match for her first ever title reign. She has also beaten Victoria in the past as well. While she was in her prime she managed and wrestled taking on all comers like Mickie James, Melina and others. She also managed Christian, Tyson Tomko, Chris Jericho among others. Trish also held the Hardcore Title for a minute when it was under the 24/7 rules. Trish retired from being a full time performer in 2006 but has made brief appearances and was a trainer on the last edition of Tough Enough.

Trish is well know all over Canada. She has hosted Canada's Walk of Fame, was a spokesperson for World Natural Sports Association and was apart of the CBS reality show Armed & Famous. Trish has also contributed to many charities including Ronald McDonald House, Dreams Take Flight and the Special Olympics. Now a days Trish has a studio in Canada dedicated to Yoga and her studio is known as "Canada's largest eco-friendly yoga studio." She is also very dedicated to the environment.

Trish was a marketable Diva who has the beauty, the class and the talent. So many Diva's of today got a chance to be in the spotlight because of her. She has competed in a couple of matches since her retirement match and still brings a thrill to crowd. She is one of a kind and deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to Trish Stratus for bringing some Stratusfaction to the WWE Hall of Fame.
